Answers:
Be honest and tell them!. I had to do the same thing!. Now when I go to have dinner at my family's house, I bring my own tofu to eat!. They thought I was kind of strange at first, because they just don't "get" the vegetarian thing, but they are ok with it now!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Telling parents that you are going to become vegetarian or have become vegetarian is a lot easier than telling them that you are gay, or have cancer, !.or are marrying a Martian Biped with a PhD, or have become involved with a polygamous cult!. Seriously, it is a simple thing!. And you know all the right things to say without upsetting anyone!. Express your appreciation to them for all their loving support and training you to be an independent thinker!. Then if they want to know why or they express any concerns then dispassionately tell them what your reasons are!.
You can also get a copy of Skinny B-tch or Diet for a New America or any of the many others and leave it in the bathroom!. But talk straight!. Allay their fears for you and your health and let them know that you do not expect them to follow suite!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

What is the big deal about telling your parents!? If you can't handle being made fun of because there is no reason for you to be vegetarian, then get over it!. It's not like you are telling them that is a life altering event!.
